Superb pair of intergrown Garnets sitting on a bed of dipside crystals. Eden Mills garnets rate high in the pantheon of garnets, and this specimen is among the best of those. Both crystals are virtually perfect. Deep amber in color and gemmy, together they measure a full 1 cm across. This thumb has exemplary aesthetics and the crystals are GEMMY...a superb old classic, to find in such quality, I think.

The Jeffrey Mine has produced perhaps the finest garnets in the world, and this sweet thumb is no exception. The crystals, which have unusually good separation and definition, are lustrous with a deep amber color. The largest crystal is 1 cm across! There is some contacting in the back only, and it has no effect at all on the presentation side. Even better in person. A true GEMMY gem.

From the famous Mexican discovery, these famous red garnets have graced many important collections. This superb dodecahedron, .7 cm across and having excellent luster, sits perfectly atop the quartz matrix. A wonderful thumb.
